Where history meets hustle and Beef Country began.
On the night of April 18, 1775, Paul Revere rode through Medford and Arlington to Lexington.
Greater Boston packs a lot into Beef Country’s southern edge. Cambridge has Harvard and MIT, Tufts sits where Medford meets Somerville, and the first shots of the Revolution were fired on Lexington Green. Out on Route 128, Waltham, Woburn and Burlington are office-park country.
Kendall Square stays lit long after the biotech crowd heads home, and Moody Street is Waltham’s restaurant row. Most of Greater Boston is on the T. Farther up, Beef Country is mostly a car ride.
Around the region
On weekends, walkers fill the loop around Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield and line the green rails along Winthrop Beach. From Malden and Melrose up to Reading, everyone has a Beef shop and an opinion about it.
